Three Ways to Get Your 401(k) Back on Track
U.S. News & World Report June 18, 2009
Excerpt: The easiest fix would, of course, be a full recovery of the stock market. But the returns necessary to repair your retirement accounts are unlikely to happen any time soon. Baby boomers over age 55 who wish to retire in the next two years will need annual investment returns of 13.64 percent to recoup their losses between January 1, 2008 and April 30, 2009, according to calculations released today by Mercer, a benefits administrator and consulting company. Investors who have 5 years to recover will need returns of 5.44 percent annually to get back to where they were a year and a half ago. Those with a longer time horizon will need only a 2.72 annual rate of return to recover over 10 years and just 1.81 percent annually over 15 years.
